According to Guillem Balague, Dortmund will make a decision about his future on Tuesday, and the Bundlesliga club could ask for as much as €60m (£53.3m) for the Gabonese forward. Aubameyang was left out of Dortmund's squad for the goalless draw with Wolfsburg last Sunday, and his time at the club appears to be drawing to a close. Balague claims that the transfer may take a week to complete, but Arsenal believe that have convinced the player to join, and they now need to agree on a deal with Dortmund.
So, this time next week, Aubameyang could be an Arsenal player, but he is unlikely to ever line-out for the club alongside Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean is reportedly on the verge of a transfer to Manchester United, after Manchester City pulled-out of the race to sign the forward from Arsenal. Chelsea are also said to be interested in signing Sanchez this month.

Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Bordeaux's 20-year-old Brazilian forward Malcom, as the club seek a replacement for Sanchez and try to turn their season around. Following Sunday's 2-1 defeat away to Bournemouth, Arsene Wenger's side are in sixth place in the Premier League, eight points away from Chelsea in fourth spot.
Aubameyang could provide the spark Arsenal's season badly needs, but the potential move also raises questions about where he would fit into Wenger's team. The Gunners signed Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon for £46.5m before the season started, but the French striker has scored just eight goals so far and hasn't found the net since scoring against United at the start of December. In Lacazette's defence, his teammates often fail to find him with passes when he makes potentially threatening runs, and he tends to get substituted late in games.
According to the Telegraph's report, "Arsenal believe he will benefit from competition for his place and is also capable of partnering Aubameyang." However, some Arsenal supporters, and other football fans, are unsure about how the team will line-out if Aubameyang joins.
